Note
☆ This ticket may be used by one person for any five days of travel (consecutive or non-consecutive) or
by a group traveling together on the same route （e.g. five people for one-day travel）. Each ticket is
valid for one calendar day (from 00:00 to 23:59), and must be used within the designated term of validity.
有効期間内の連続・不連続 5 日間、又は、グループの同一行程旅行時に使用可。（例えば、5 名の 1 日分）24 時間
とは、00:00～23:59 でカレンダー１日分を示す。
☆ Ticket holders can get on and off the train at any JR station and at the JR ferry terminal as many times
as they wish. However, travel is restricted to the marked “day of use”. The “day of use” will be
marked on the ticket by a JR staff the first time the ticket holder presents the ticket when going
through a ticket gate at any JR station.
切符には JR 駅社員による有効日（乗車日）の記入が必要。有効日中 1 日何回でも乗り降り可。
☆ This ticket is NOT valid for express trains, limited express trains, overnight sleeper trains, Green Cars,
and JR buses. This means that the Seishun 18 Kippu does NOT cover long-distance express or limited
express trains including the Shinkansen ‘bullet trains’. The ticket does cover long-distance travel by
local trains and rapid trains (‘Kaisoku’ and ‘Shin-kaisoku’). But travelers with time constraints
should note that this usually requires several changes of trains.
☆ Rapid trains (‘Kaisoku’ and ‘Shin-kaisoku’) are short or medium-distance local trains that are faster
with fewer stops on the way than ordinary local trains. Please be careful to note that they are not
long-distance express trains.
☆ Additional charges apply when riding a train which requires a seat reservation and for surcharges, such
as Green Car (this ticket holders can only take non-reserved seats) and a priority seat reservation on
a local / rapid local train (‘Kaisoku’ and ‘Shin-kaisoku’).
指定席券やグリーン券、乗車整理券などが必要な普通（快速）列車に乗車する場合、別に指定席料金、グリーン
料金(自由席のみ利用可)、乗車整理券料金などが必要。

☆ When traveling with this ticket, it is important to think in terms of calendar days. For one use - for
one person using the ticket one time – the travel has to be within one calendar day (from 00:00 to
23:59). When traveling overnight on one use of the ticket, it is valid until the first stop the train makes
after midnight. An exception is made for travel in designated Tokyo and Osaka areas, where one use
of the ticket allows you to ride the last trains of the day even after midnight.
１回分（１人分）は乗車日の当日限り有効。乗車日が翌日にまたがる場合は、０時を過ぎて最初の停車駅まで有
効。 また、東京・大阪の電車特定区間内では終電まで有効。
